      Pros

      If you come from a business background, you learn some tech basics fast nice and friendly peers decent consulting lifestyle

      Cons

      Gamma promises to let you experience the best of both worlds, Data Science and Management Consulting, but at the end of the day you tend to rather see the drawbacks of both worlds No real tech culture or tech-savvy peers, it is more important to follow the customer's wishes or to make things look nice on slides than to do the right thing from a technical point of view Many projects are not strategic -> Not the right place for those into innovation or creative bent of mind

      Pros

      Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

      Cons

      BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
